Ex-coach of "Dynamo" and the national team of Ukraine Yozhef Szabo commented on the results of the qualification draw for the European Championship-2024, according to the results of which the opponents of our national team will be the national teams of Italy, England, North Macedonia and Malta.
- It's always like that - there are one or two decent teams, and the rest are of different levels. We are still having a hard time on the international stage. After all, we have a war. I look at some of our guys who play abroad and don't always play. They are also not in as good a shape as we would like. What will you do - we have a war. You have to be patient, wait for us to win. Yes, time will pass, but now there is no need to criticize anyone - the main thing is for Ukraine to have peace and victory.
England are the group favourites. This is a team with a decent stock. For the Italians, after the failure of not qualifying for the World Championship, the coaches are changing the team, introducing youth into the team. They were and are a good team. They have someone to choose from, not what we have. What should a coach do when players are invited to the national team who do not match the level of the national team in terms of skill? The coach is trying to find options, to look, but what to look for when everything is "in the palm of your hand"?, Szabo said.
